Recipe for A Day

St. Pauls used to produce cook books using member recipes. This "recipe for a day" was published in the 1909 cookbook published by the St. Pauls Church League, the young adult group of the day.

A Recipe for a Day

Take a dash of water coldAnd a little leaven of prayer,A little bit of Sunshine goldDissolved in the morning air.Add to your meal some merrimentAnd a thought for kith and kinAnd then, as a prime ingredientA plenty of work thrown in.But spice it all with the essence of loveAnd a little whiff of play;Let a wise old Book and a glance aboveComplete the well spent day.
